Required Texts: (bring your own copy to every lab – no sharing)

Absences:

Students are responsible for obtaining any
material missed due to an absence. Additionally, students must ensure that
their work is submitted by the deadline regardless of other commitments, i.e.
duty, sick call, movement orders. Should bona fide emergencies arise, it is the
responsibility of the student to coordinate with the instructor (emergency
leave, hospitalization, SIR, etc.).

Honor:

You may collaborate on laboratory assignments
to the following extent:collaborative
conversations with regard to syntax, strategies and methods for accomplishing
the goal of the labs are encouraged; however
design and implementation must be the work of the individual student handing in
the final product. Sharing or copying of code is never permitted.In addition, you must identify all those that
you collaborate with on your assignment cover sheet.Consult your instructor if you need further
clarification.

Exams will be open notes / closed book.Expect frequent quizzes on assigned reading. Quizzes may be open or closed book/notes, as announced. No makeup
quizzes will be given. All work on exams/quizzes must be your own in accordance
with USNAINST 1610.3F, USNAINST 1531.53, and COMPSCIDEPTINST1531C.These references can be found at http://www.cs.usna.edu/academics/honor.htm.

Class Conduct

Students shall uphold all professional standards while in class. Proper
uniforms shall be worn, and proper language shall be used. Sleeping in class is
prohibited. If you are experiencing difficulty staying awake at your desk,
stand in the back of the room. No foodor smokeless tobacco in the
classroom/labs. Beverages in closed containers only.

Section Leader:

The section leader will call the class to order and record absences and
tardiness. If the instructor is absent, do not dismiss class, instead contract
the department office and lead the class in productive work.

Extra Instruction:

Extra Instruction (EI) is available and
encouraged when your own attempts to understand the subject matter are
unsuccessful. However, you must come prepared with specific questions or areas
to be discussed (i.e. have read the assigned readings). If you have missed
class, get the notes from a classmate or watch the Tegrity recording of the
class. Do not ask or expect to receive EI on material that you have slept
through.

EI is normally available during weekdays by
appointment; see the course web page (URL above) for hours of
non-availability.Students may also show
up at the instructor’s office without appointment, however no expectation of
instructor availability should be assumed.Email questions are also encouraged, though in some cases the reply will
request in-person EI as the most effective solution.

For the course project, teams of students will
create a web site.The project grade
will be based upon the instructor’s estimation of the group’s collective
results, adjusted for each team member based upon the other group members’
estimation of the individual’s teamwork and contribution.

Exams:

The 6 and 12-week exams will primarily focus on the
recent material. The final exam will be comprehensive. If for some reason a
make-up exam will be required, inform the instructor at least 1 week in advance.

Expect the exams to challenge your understanding of the underlying principles involved – being
able to “eventually” get some web program to “work” via trial and error is not
sufficient understanding for your current education and for your ability to
learn new developments in the future.

Late Assignments

Unless otherwise specified, assignments (labs) are
due promptly at 2359 on the due date
(electronically).Assignments will
normally be given on Tuesday and due the following Monday.

Assignments will also have a paper copy to turn
in.The paper copy is due at start of class
on the following work day.If there is
no class that day, then paper copy is due at 0800.If
paper copy is later than this, then the whole assignment will be treated as if
submitted when the paper copy arrives.

Paper and electronic copies must exactly match! In
particular, be careful not to modify your submitted files after the deadline,
when you start working on the next assignment. Also, be sure to try to validate
your files before the electronic deadline occurs.

and would not be accepted after 2359 Wednesday. Quizzes will not be accepted late.
